Abstract: Let T be a Fourier integral operator on Rn of order −(n−1)/2. It was shown by Seeger, Sogge, and Stein that T mapped the Hardy space H1 to L1. In this note we show that T is also of weak-type (1,1). The main ideas are a decomposition of T into non-degenerate and degenerate components, and a factorization of the non-degenerate portion.


The author considers the Fourier integral operator \(T\) defined by \[ Tf(x)=\int_{\mathbb R^n} e^{2\pi i\Phi(x,\xi)}a(x,\xi)\widehat f(\xi)\,d\xi, \] where \(a(x,\xi)\) is a standard symbol of order \(-(n-1)/2\) (i.e., \[ | \partial _x^\alpha \partial _\xi^\beta a(x,\xi)| \leq C_{\alpha,\beta}(1+| \xi| ) ^{-(n-1)/2-| \beta| } \] for all multi-indices \(\alpha\), \(\beta\)) with compact support in \(x\), and \(\Phi\) is a real phase function which is homogeneous of degree \(1\) in \(\xi\), is smooth in \((x,\xi)\) for \(\xi\neq 0\) on an open neighbourhood of the support of \(a\), and obeys the non-degenerecy condition \(\det(\frac{\partial^2\Phi}{\partial x_i\partial \xi_j})\neq 0\) on an open neighbourhood of the support of \(a\). He shows that \(T\) is of weak type \((1,1)\). This is related to the result by \textit{A. Seeger, C. Sogge} and \textit{E. M. Stein} that \(T\) is bounded from the Hardy space \(H^1\) to \(L^1\) [``Regularity properties of Fourier integral operators, Ann. Math. (2) 134, No. 2, 231--251 (1991; Zbl 0754.58037)].
